Keeping baby clean is an important part of keeping her healthy. Unfortunately, many of the washes and other personal care products out there have chemicals in them that are anything but healthy for your little one. Skin absorbs up to 60% of what’s put on it, and many of the chemicals then get into the bloodstream. Babies’ bodies are developing for years, so for them this is even more significant, as every drop of product that touches their bodies is proportionally greater than the same drop on our own. Traditional personal care products are full of chemicals that we would rather not have in our bloodstreams, including carcinogens and hormone disruptors, chemicals that are not regulated by any government agency. Though many of these ingredients have been deemed harmless in small doses, the cumulative effects of many different products over time have not yet been tested. Keep bath time safe and fun by using natural and organic personal care products for yourself and your baby.
